On -rt we were seeing spurious bad page states like: Bad page state in process 'firefox' page:c1bc2380 flags:0x40000000 mapping:c1bc2390 mapcount:0 count:0 Trying to fix it up, but a reboot is needed Backtrace: Pid: 503, comm: firefox Not tainted 2.6.26.8-rt13 #3 [<c043d0f3>] ? printk+0x14/0x19 [<c0272d4e>] bad_page+0x4e/0x79 [<c0273831>] free_hot_cold_page+0x5b/0x1d3 [<c02739f6>] free_hot_page+0xf/0x11 [<c0273a18>] __free_pages+0x20/0x2b [<c027d170>] __pte_alloc+0x87/0x91 [<c027d25e>] handle_mm_fault+0xe4/0x733 [<c043f680>] ? rt_mutex_down_read_trylock+0x57/0x63 [<c043f680>] ? rt_mutex_down_read_trylock+0x57/0x63 [<c0218875>] do_page_fault+0x36f/0x88a This is the case where a concurrent fault already installed the PTE and we get to free the newly allocated one. This is due to pgtable_page_ctor() doing the spin_lock_init(&page->ptl) which is overlaid with the {private, mapping} struct. union { struct { unsigned long private; struct address_space *mapping; }; spinlock_t ptl; struct kmem_cache *slab; struct page *first_page; }; Normally the spinlock is small enough to not stomp on page->mapping, but PREEMPT_RT=y has huge 'spin'locks. But lockdep kernels should also be able to trigger this splat, as the lock tracking code grows the spinlock to cover page->mapping. The obvious fix is calling pgtable_page_dtor() like the regular pte free path __pte_free_tlb() does. It seems all architectures except x86 and nm10300 already do this, and nm10300 doesn't seem to use pgtable_page_ctor(), which suggests it doesn't do SMP or simply doesnt do MMU at all or something.

Impact: fix sporadic slowdowns and warning messages This patch fixes a performance issue reported by Linus on his Nehalem system. While Linus reverted the PAT patch (commit 58dab916) which exposed the issue, existing cpa() code can potentially still cause wrong(page attribute corruption) behavior. This patch also fixes the "WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:560" that various people reported. In 64bit kernel, kernel identity mapping might have holes depending on the available memory and how e820 reports the address range covering the RAM, ACPI, PCI reserved regions. If there is a 2MB/1GB hole in the address range that is not listed by e820 entries, kernel identity mapping will have a corresponding hole in its 1-1 identity mapping. If cpa() happens on the kernel identity mapping which falls into these holes, existing code fails like this: __change_page_attr_set_clr() __change_page_attr() returns 0 because of if (!kpte). But doesn't set cpa->numpages and cpa->pfn. cpa_process_alias() uses uninitialized cpa->pfn (random value) which can potentially lead to changing the page attribute of kernel text/data, kernel identity mapping of RAM pages etc. oops! This bug was easily exposed by another PAT patch which was doing cpa() more often on kernel identity mapping holes (physical range between max_low_pfn_mapped and 4GB), where in here it was setting the cache disable attribute(PCD) for kernel identity mappings aswell. Fix cpa() to handle the kernel identity mapping holes.

This reverts commit 4217458d. Justin Madru bisected this commit, it was causing weird Firefox crashes. The reason is that GCC mis-optimizes (re-uses) the on-stack parameters of the calling frame, which corrupts the syscall return pt_regs state and thus corrupts user-space register state. So we go back to the slightly less clean but more optimization-safe method of getting to pt_regs. Also add a comment to explain this.

The asm constraints for the strncpy_from_user() result were missing an early clobber, which tells gcc that the last output arguments are written before all input arguments are read.

Impact: fix crash with memory hotplug enabled kernel_physical_mapping_init() is called during memory hotplug so it does not belong in the init section. If the kernel is built with CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y on the make command line, arch/x86/mm/init_64.c is compiled with the -fno-inline-functions-called-once gcc option defeating inlining of kernel_physical_mapping_init() within init_memory_mapping(). When kernel_physical_mapping_init() is not inlined it is placed in the .init.text section according to the __init in it's current declaration. A later call to kernel_physical_mapping_init() during a memory hotplug operation encounters an int3 trap because the .init.text section memory has been freed. This patch eliminates the crash caused by the int3 trap by moving the non-inlined kernel_physical_mapping_init() from .init.text to .meminit.text.

(this code is only called during CPU init) The goal of this is to pave the way of the removal of the apic_version[] array.

Debugging and original patch from Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> The early fixmap pmd entry inserted at the very top of the KVA is causing the subsequent fixmap mapping code to not provide physically linear pte pages over the kmap atomic portion of the fixmap (which relies on said property to calculate pte addresses). This has caused weird boot failures in kmap_atomic much later in the boot process (initial userspace faults) on a 32-bit PAE system with a larger number of CPUs (smaller CPU counts tend not to run over into the next page so don't show up the problem). Solve this by attempting to clear out the page table, and copy any of its entries to the new one. Also, add a bug if a nonlinear condition is encountered and can't be resolved, which might save some hours of debugging if this fragile scheme ever breaks again... Once we have such logic, we can also use it to eliminate the early ioremap trickery around the page table setup for the fixmap area. This also fixes potential issues with FIX_* entries sharing the leaf page table with the early ioremap ones getting discarded by early_ioremap_clear() and not restored by early_ioremap_reset(). It at once eliminates the temporary (and configuration, namely NR_CPUS, dependent) unavailability of early fixed mappings during the time the fixmap area page tables get constructed. Finally, also replace the hard coded calculation of the initial table space needed for the fixmap area with a proper one, allowing kernels configured for large CPU counts to actually boot.

Impact: reduce kernel image size Hugh Dickins noticed that older gcc versions when the kernel is built for code size didn't inline some of the bitops. Mark all complex x86 bitops that have more than a single asm statement or two as always inline to avoid this problem. Probably should be done for other architectures too. Ingo then found a better fix that only requires a single line change, but it unfortunately only works on gcc 4.3. On older gccs the original patch still makes a ~0.3% defconfig difference with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y. With gcc 4.1 and a defconfig like build: 61169987 1138540 883788 8139326 7c323e vmlinux-oi-with-patch 6137043 1138540 883788 8159371 7c808b vmlinux-optimize-inlining ~20k / 0.3% difference.

This reverts commit 7503bfba. Dieter Ries reported bootup soft-hangs and bisected it back to this commit, and reverting this commit gave him a working system. The commit introduces work_on_cpu() use into the cpufreq code, but that is subtly problematic from a lock hierarchy POV: the hotplug-cpu lock is an highlevel lock that is taken before lowlevel locks, and in this codepath we are called with the policy lock taken. Dieter did not have lockdep enabled so we dont have a nice stack trace proof for this, but using work_on_cpu() in such a lowlevel place certainly looks wrong, so we revert the patch. work_on_cpu() needs to be reworked to be more generally usable.

Ajith Kumar noticed: I was going through the vmalloc fault handling for x86_64 and am unclear about the following lines in the vmalloc_fault() function. pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address); pgd_ref = pgd_offset_k(address); Here the intention is to get the pgd corresponding to the current process and sync it up with the pgd in init_mm(obtained from pgd_offset_k). However, for kernel threads current->mm is NULL and hence pgd = pgd_offset(init_mm, address) = pgd_ref which means the fault handler returns without setting the pgd entry in the MM structure in the context of which the kernel thread has faulted. This could lead to never-ending faults and busy looping of kernel threads like pdflush. So, shouldn't the pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address); be pgd = pgd_offset(current->active_mm ?: &init_mm, address); We can use active_mm unconditionally because it should be always set.

Commit c4be0c1d added the ability for write_super_lockfs to return errors, and renamed them to match. But btrfs didn't get converted. Do the minimal conversion to make it compile again. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The 'rb_first()', 'rb_last()', 'rb_next()' and 'rb_prev()' calls take a pointer to an RB node or RB root. They do not change the pointed objects, so add a 'const' qualifier in order to make life of the users of these functions easier. Indeed, if I have my own constant pointer &const struct my_type *p, and I call 'rb_next(&p->rb)', I get a GCC warning: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘rb_next’ discards qualifiers from pointer target type Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The sensor can be accessed via various buses. In particular, SPI, I²C and, on HP laptops, via a specific ACPI API (the only one currently supported). Separate this latest platform from the core of the sensor driver to allow support for the other bus type. The second, and more direct goal is actually to be able to merge this part with the hp-disk-leds driver, which has the same ACPI PNP number.
